Adding third function w/ remotes

[abrill]

I currently have a set of rear remotes and am looking to add the Summit third function kit for snowplow angle. My question is how to plumb the hydraulics since the power beyond port is being used to supply the rear remotes. Do I add a T fitting to the valve block under footrest and another on the loader valve block? Any help and pictures of someone who’s done this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Check with Dan, known as the Old Hokie, he seems to know a lot about the hydraulics and the capabilities of them and how to plumb.

I responded to your PM but assuming a Summit electric third function kit and factory remotes:

1. No tees
2. Mount Summit valve to loader post per their instructions
3. Disconnect loader power beyond hose at loader valve.
4. Using the new hose from the Summit kit connect loader power beyond port to IN on the 3rd function valve.
5. Connect the power beyond hose that you disconencted in #3 above to OUT on third function.
6. Install and wire up the joystick controls
7. Install front couplers and hoses per Summit instructions

You are done
